Kai Budde[edit]

Non-notable collectible card player. Does not meed criteria at WP:BIO. Violates WP:BLP due to not being sourced. Not notable outside the realm of Magic:The Gathering. Delete —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Malber (talk • contribs) .

Keep. Does meet WP:BIO criteria. WP:BIO talks about athletes, but I think it clearly extends to competitors like Kai. There are plenty of sources out there on him; see this for instance, which is a published book, that describes Kai as "the best player in the world as of this writing." Lots of columns published on the Wizards site too. If it needs better sourcing, it should be fixed, not deleted. We shouldn't have articles on every Magic player with some success, but even if we could only have 5, this guy would definitely be one of them. And there's no reason not to cover the MTG corner of the world: Wikipedia is not paper. Mangojuice^talk 13:31, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as he is clearly notable and verifiable. FrozenPurpleCube 14:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
